Serum or plasma ethanol testing measures current blood alcohol concentration, reflecting recent drinking and current impairment. Medical ethanol testing differs from legal blood alcohol testing in collection protocols and reporting standards but provides equivalent clinical information.
This test is used in emergency departments to evaluate altered mental status, suspected alcohol intoxication, alcohol withdrawal, possible co-ingestion in overdose, and certain medical conditions affected by alcohol. Sample type is serum or plasma.
